According to reports, Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa had met Imran Khan at Prime Minister House on Thursday, a day after the Senate polls took place. It was also reported that the Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt Gen Faiz Hameed was also present during the meeting.

As per sources, no statement on the meeting was released by the Prime Minister’s Office, which normally gives out press releases on such interactions.

However, the opposition and the public was quick to link the meeting of the military leadership to the PM after the upset suffered in the Senate elections.

Following the shock defeat, Prime Minister Imran Khan has been forced to seek a vote of confidence from the National Assembly.

Maryam Nawaz alleged that the premier had called and met the heads of institutions in the PM House ‘on the day he suffered a humiliating defeat and his members expressed a lack of confidence in him and voted against him.’

She said, “Is he not dragging the institutions into politics?”

Maryam Nawaz pointed out that previously DG ISI had urged politicians not to drag the military into political matters.
